Simmons was previously linked to the Knicks by insider Ian Begley of SNY, who reported the team still has a spot for a player at the veteran minimum signing. The Knicks could avoid the salary cap's second apron by signing Simmons and adding one rookie deal, according to Begley.

The New York Knicks have reportedly "continued to touch base with Ben Simmons during the free agency period," per SNY's Ian Begley.

With one roster spot left to fill, should the Knicks take a chance on Ben Simmons, or would their money be better spent on another player?
